Length of cooling including latent heat

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the duration of the phase transition during cooling, specifically the latent heat transition. The original poster expresses uncertainty about how to perform this calculation but suggests that it may depend on mass. They later discover that understanding convection allows for the calculation of heat transfer rate (dQ/dt), leading to a solution. The conversation highlights the importance of convection in determining the cooling duration. Ultimately, the poster finds that the rest of the calculation is straightforward once convection is understood.

Hello,

I would like to know how to calculate how long the phase transition when cooling lasts. So basically how long the latent transition lasts.

I really don't have any ideas how this could be calculated, although I would assume it is function of the mass.

Any help is much appreciated.

Nvm found the solution; knowing the convection allows the the dQ/dt to be calculated. The rest is common sense.
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
